Ecological footprint | Earth Resources | meriSTEM

Narelle Hill looks at what her ecological footprint is and how it works in the real world. This is part of a series of videos on how human activities affect sustainability.

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'Unit 3 Living on Earth - extracting, using and managing Earth resources'.

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors:
Producing, harvesting, transporting and processing of resources for consumption, and assimilating the associated wastes, involves the use of resources; the concept of an ‘ecological footprint’ is used to measure the magnitude of this demand (ACSES083)
